The front is adorned with a beveled square in rose gold holding a central pearl. The bail, crafted from fluted yellow gold, has a graceful curve. The piece features two distinct shades of gold; the combination of yellow gold and rose gold is characteristic of the jewelry style of the second half of the 19th century.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(29, 31, 37); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);\"\u003eFrench work, second half of the 19th century.

A few slight dents on the surface and scratches on the inner glass—signs of genuine use and a life well-lived, not of neglect. Slight traces of oxidation, localized on and around the rose gold: an expected and consistent phenomenon, as the higher copper content in this alloy is naturally more susceptible to oxidation. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); color: rgb(29, 31, 37);\"\u003eNote: The hinge is positioned on the right, causing the piece to open from the left side—an unusual arrangement that indicates individual, artisanal craftsmanship rather than mass production.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); color: rgb(29, 31, 37);\"\u003eWhen the locket came into our possession, it still contained a lock of blond hair and a very old photograph of a young child.
